Cookin' With Maytag

WE OPEN ON A CLOSE-UP OF THE MAYTAG MAN HOLDING A STEAMING CASSEROLE DISH UP BY HIS CHEST IN ONE HAND. HIS OTHER HAND HOLDS ROASTING PAN LOW NEAR HIS THIGHS WITH A ROASTING TURKEY GLISTENING AND STEAMING INSIDE.

THROUGHOUT THE SPOT, WE SEE THAT HE'S CROUCHED IN A KITCHEN WHERE AN OVEN WOULD BE.

MAYTAG MAN: This turkey's roasting at a steamy 475°, and these here spuds are going at a smooth 350.

DISCLAIMER: Dramatization. Do Not Attempt. Use safe practices when handling hot items.

A HAND REACHES IN AND STARTS BASTING THE TURKEY. MAYTAG MAN SNIFFS IT.

MAYTAG MAN: (sniffs) Oh, paprika. (back to camera) Most ovens would cry uncle trying to cook all this at once. Not Maytag. With the dependability of two separate ovens and the power to get it all done, there's no waiting in line to get in here.

A HAND SLIDES A CUPCAKE TIN ONTO THE MAYTAG MAN'S HAND NEXT TO THE SPUDS.
MAYTAG MAN: Oh, look who joined the party. Mini cupcakes. Adorable.

A WOMAN WALKS ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE CAMERA. AFTER SHE PASSES, WE SEE THAT A REAL, SHINY MAYTAG GEMINI OVEN NOW SITS WHERE THE MAYTAG MAN WAS - ALL THE FOOD COOKING INSIDE. SNAP ZOOM INTO THE LOGO AND THE TAGLINE APPEARS ON SCREEN.

MAYTAG MAN (VO): Maytag. What's inside matters.

Dish Duty

WE OPEN ON THE MAYTAG MAN CROUCHED UNDER A KITCHEN COUNTER WHERE A DISHWASHER WOULD NORMALLY BE.

A WOMAN WASHING PLATES AT THE SINK NEARBY HANDS HIM DINNER PLATES WITH LEFTOVER FOOD ON THEM.

MAYTAG MAN: Maytag knows that not everyone is a member of the clean plate club.

MAYTAG MAN: Broccoli nubs, gristle bits, onion slivers. Maytag--

SHE HANDS HIM A HALF-FILLED, OVERTURNED GLASS - SPILLING LIQUID ALL OVER HIS LAP. HE GLANCES DOWN, BUT MAINTAINS HIS COMPOSURE AND SOLDIERS ON.

MAYTAG MAN: Maytag's not gonna let these kinds of meal scraps gum up the works. With a 4-blade stainless steel chopper and the most powerful motor on the market*, if you don't eat it, you can be sure that Maytag will chew it up for ya.

SUPER: *AMONG LEADING BRANDS

MAYTAG MAN (to woman):
That all ya got?

A WOMAN CROSSES IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. AFTER SHE PASSES, WE SEE THAT A BEAUTIFUL, REAL MAYTAG DISHWASHER NOW SITS WHERE THE MAYTAG MAN WAS. SNAP ZOOM INTO THE LOGO AND THE TAGLINE APPEARS ON SCREEN.

MAYTAG MAN (VO): Maytag. What's inside matters.

Refrigerator Runnin'

OPEN ON THE MAYTAG MAN OCCUPYING THE SPACE OF A REFRIGERATOR IN A KITCHEN. HE'S HOLDING A LOT OF FOOD WHILE RUNNING IN PLACE, AND CONTINUES TO DO SO THROUGHOUT THE SPOT.

MAYTAG MAN: Because with Maytag, all kinds of things can get the best cleaning in the industry*.

WE PAN TO THE SIDE TO SEE THAT ANOTHER IDENTICAL MAYTAG MAN IS CROUCHING BESIDE HIM FLUFFING TOWELS IN HIS HANDS AS A DRYER.

MAYTAG MAN 2: Year after fresh-and-fluffy year.

TWO KIDS RUN ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE CAMERA. AFTER THEY PASS, WE SEE THAT A BEAUTIFUL, REAL MAYTAG WASHER AND DRYER NOW SIT WHERE THE MAYTAG MEN WERE. WE SNAP-ZOOM TO THE MAYTAG LOGO, AND THE TAGLINE APPEARS.
